Is there a way to delete all layers from all pages of a multi-page document in a single action? I can only see how to do it one page at a time.
@Ross I have found that if you combine files, it can remove all layers in the new file. The following steps may help save some time.
4. Make sure that merge layers is not checked.
5. Select add open files and ok.
6. Delete the blank page from the new combined file and save it.
The new file will have no layers, and you can use the same blank document over and over for this purpose.
This depends on how the layers were created. If you have combined a file made up of pages that already had layers on them and transferred those layers into the combined file, they will be grayed out on the layers panel when you aren't on the same page/pages they transferred over with.
If, however, you created the layers on an already-multipage document, those layers should already work globally. So, if you delete one layer, it would delete from all pages it was on. Additionally, if you wanted to grab all the pages at once, you should be able to use Shift or CTRL to highlight multiple layers at once and then choose to delete. This would theoretically delete those selected layers from all pages in one swoop (especially if you checked all the boxes from the pop-up that appears when deleting layers.
Ashley, thanks, this is somewhat helpful, but not exactly what I was hoping for.
I get pdf files of multiple sheets from people who printed them out of e.g. Autodesk applications. It's very common in our office, and I also get from external Project consultants. But I'm often the one who has to manage & collate different pdf files, most of them having layers, and before submittals — delete the layers because permitting agencies reviewers don't work with files having layers.
So, rather than trying to coach & educate multiple people contributing to the project about the way they print from their various Autodesk applications, it'd be just easier if I could easily delete all layers from any multipage document, in one stroke.
For instance, here's the layers in one sheet of a 45 sheet set…
And here's the layers in another sheet of the same set..
(there's still more than shown). That's the same person printing — she's printing the same way. It's just evident that that the Autodesk files are "accumulating more "stuff" all the time, and that stuff leads to more layers.
So I think you see from the above my problem is that in a document with say 10 or 50 pages, with layering like this, the layers seem infinite, & being able to delete one specific layer from all sheets at one time, isn't quite working for me. I guess my term "globally" that I used initially might not have been the right terminology.
Again, rather trying to control the way that various people print to pdf's, it'd be easier if I could easily delete all layers in one go.
Thanks
Thanks Glynis D.! Good & easy work around.
In the Markups list, whether applying a filter or not, the length of a line does not show up. I would like to export to excel all the lines with length property, but in the markups list the length is not shown. Are the two "length" properties the same? Is this a bug? Thanks
Does anyone know hw to turn off this feature (brown help box) that lets you know the highlight is in use. toggling between different documents or screens, it moves every time you move documents. It is very distracting and moves your page.
In the past we were able to require fields to be filled out before an individual could save the form. Now, if I make a field required it only puts a red thick border around it. This allows individuals to skip a field and submit a form with missing information. It is driving me crazy. Someone please advise. Thank you! :)
I use custom stamps regularly and find panning up and down in the dropdown to be annoying since the icon to pan up or down is so small and when my pointer goes past it the drop down disappears, then I need to find my stamp again..! Please fix..
Hi Bluebeam Team and Community, I often use Dark Mode when reading long documents in Revu, as it’s much easier on my eyes. However, depending on the document content, I find myself frequently switching back and forth between Dark Mode and regular mode. Right now, I have to navigate through Revu > Preferences each time to…
Is there a way to disable the "(1 of XX)" part of the navigation bar? I manage pdf's that have page labels formatted "PID-xxx". The actual count of a page in the pdf, meaning the "(4 of 11)" part below, is irrelevant to our document structure. When navigating to a page, I use only the page label to get to it ("PID-869" in…
Hi Ive got a Chromebook which runs Linux operating system, therefore I cant open the exe. file to use Revu. Is there another download for Linux systems or can I only use cloud version which is pretty useless for what I need? Need help please
How do I save a 3d model tree with just the columns that I choose? I have tried saving as a new view and then saving the pdf but when I open the pdf again the 3d model tree has reset to its defaults. I would like to send the pdf out to my team and clients so that they are able to just open without the need to set anything…
When I've zoomed into a document and want to print that particular expanded view seen on the screen, is there a way to do that?
